Translation

Verse 1

O Lord Hari, be compassionate -- your friend, her heart pierced by the sharp arrow of your glance, her body grown thin, yet somehow still lives.

Verse 2

The cause of her sudden illness being unknown, though heaps of mantras and medicines have been applied, her whole family grieves for her, her eyes red and swollen from ceaseless weeping.

Verse 3

Her heart afflicted with an unbroken, burning fever, beads of perspiration bursting forth like brilliant pearls, her body lying motionless on the cool ground, she now sinks helplessly, with no remedy in sight.

Verse 4

O Madhava, you who are initiated into the great vow of that sacrifice which grants fearlessness to the people of the cowherd village -- alas, O eternal one, how can this girl, possessed of such a wealth of virtues, deserve to suffer such a terrible condition?
